Shoot ’em up game Crystal Breaker drops on Nintendo Switch this month

Terarin Games is putting Crystal Breaker on Nintendo Switch this month, the company has announced. A release is planned for November 28, 2024.

Crystal Breaker joins the lineup of shoot ’em up games on Switch. Terarin says the game has “a unique game design that utilizes close-range attacks” and players can “move at high speeds and take no damage when they come into contact with enemies.”

Here some additional information:

Shoot the enemy at close range! Crystal Breaker is a vertically scrolling shmup that focuses on close range attack.

In the year 248 of the Space Era, an abnormality occurred in the defense system that supported human life. Unmanned weapons began destroying orbital industrial plants. The space government, which relied on computers, was powerless to do anything about the situation. Suddenly, an unknown fighter jet appeared, fighting against the unmanned weapons. The words Crystal Breaker were written on the side of the cockpit.

Key Features

• This game is an aggressive shmup where close range attacks and quick destruction are important for both stage clear and score attacks.
• Crystals appear when you shoot an enemy at close range (Crystal Break). You can get bonuses by getting a certain number of crystals.
